Bułgarski Poscikk

Edit Locked

Bułgarski Pościkk (can be translated as Bulgarian Chase) is a trashy, but somehow funny comedy by Polish movie group known as Skurcz (Spasm), being their first full-length and of course, low-budget movie. Bułgarski Pościkk is notorious for intentionally poor "special effects" (especially those involving blood and stunts), costumes and screenplay - just for the sake of crazy parody and pure fun, while mantaining a low budget. However, the movie's soundtrack includes a few catchy jazz songs.

The movie tells the story of two Bulgarian secret agents: Laszlo and Asparuch, who are on their job to catch and eliminate three traitors. They are sent to Warsaw, Poland, where traitors are said to hide and posess a video tape embarassing to the Bulgarian intelligence, which has to be retrieved. But their mission is not easy - the mighty Bulgarian agents face various hazards like poisoned kebab dishes, hostile shopkeepers, karate fighters on drugs, and many, many more.

Gratuitous Foreign Language/As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Laszlo, Asparuch and Zdrajcew sometimes speak very broken Hungarian, despite being Bulgarians.note Indeed, the two languages aren't even distantly related - Hungarian is part of the Finno-Urgic language family and thus does not have Indo-European roots, while Bulgarian is part of the Slavic language family and does have Indo-European roots. Of course, this could be part of the joke. Otherwise they speak clear Polish.

High-Pressure Blood: Another hallmark of the movie - hectolitres of artificial, high-pressure blood made by mixing water with ketchup.

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: Sort of, at the beginning. The interrogated guy is tortured to such an extent that his (artificial) beard falls off. Actually he is a Bulgarian agent investigating a criminal group, but his colleagues interrupted his investigation.

No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: The fight with the shopkeeper. He defends his shop after being threatened by the Bulgarian agents by throwing old tyres and other thrash at them, eventually demolishing his own shop in the process. However, the Bulgarians manage to win this fight by simply shooting the shopkeeper. Also a scene where some policemen barge into a smuggler's lair.
